Top 5 players Virat Kohli passed on to Rohit Sharma
During his five-year captaincy stint, Virat Kohli inducted some exceptional talents into the Indian team who are currently serving the side as match-winners under Rohit Sharma's leadership.
3. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav could make it to the list of spin-bowling greats due to his unprecedented talent. The left-arm wrist spinner has shown several times how he could outclass batters with his excellent bowling. His stunning delivery against Babar Azam in the World Cup 2019 is counted among one of the best deliveries bowled by spinners in the last 10 years in the international circuit.
Kuldeep made his maiden appearance in international cricket during the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2016-17 in March 2017. In the same year, Kohli handed Kuldeep his ODI and Test debuts as well. In white-ball cricket, his pairing with Yuzvendra Chahal became famous for causing damage to the opponents.
In the 2019 World Cup, he spearheaded India’s spin attack along with Chahal and took six wickets in seven games at an economy of 5.02. The 28-year-old is an essential member of India’s ODI team under Rohit’s captaincy. Kuldeep is a formidable player in the squad and noting his exceptional talent, Rohit will look to utilise his skills and help India taste success in the future.
